OT: video cameras and tripods
I need to shoot a short video, indoors, under normal lighting, with the camera in a fixed position, focused on something two or three feet away. Quality doesn't have to be anything special, needs to have sound, and the resulting video file needs to be trivially editable on my Mac. Any recommendations for a cheap tripod and camera? -- David Cantrell | Official London Perl Mongers Bad Influence Blessed are the pessimists, for they test their backups
Re: OT: video cameras and tripods
Hi normal lighting might be a problem for the look because normal is often mixed tungsten/flourescent lighting. If that's the case, you'll need a camera that allows you to set the white balance for optimal results. You could possibly use an iPhone or Android phone with camera and a Gorillapod http://joby.com/gorillamobile/iphone4/ The newer mobile phones seem to work quite well with all sorts of lighting. This is probably better than what you need—but I know and recommend this kit: - Manfrotto MKC3-H01 tripod for under £40 - Lumix DMC-LX5, under £250 -- Damon Allen Davison http://allolex.net

Looking at two digital cameras today, and noticed that both had the standard fitting for a tripod mount. Even in this age of digital and metric, these 21st century devices still have integral to them a 3/16 British Standard Whitworth thread :-) Nicholas Clark
